Note: proletěla jsem RAW mangu, ale nečetla ji do detailů. Kresba je pěkná, ale příběh nevypadal nic moc.
The following is an AI generated summary of the manga: [spoiler]
Story Summary: The manga is a direct adaptation of the 2011 film and the novel by Yukiko Takayama. Unlike traditional versions of the classic story, this adaptation interweaves the fictional world of Prince Genji with the real life of the author, Murasaki Shikibu.
1. The Reality: Murasaki Shikibu’s Struggle Set in the 11th-century Heian court, the powerful politician Fujiwara no Michinaga commands Murasaki Shikibu to write an enchanting story. His goal is to use this tale to entertain and educate his daughter, Shoshi, so she can win the Emperor’s favor. As Murasaki writes, it becomes clear that she harbors secret, complicated feelings for Michinaga, and her personal desires begin to bleed into her manuscript.
2. The Fiction: The Life of Hikaru Genji Inside the story Murasaki is writing, we follow Hikaru Genji, the "Radiant Prince." Born to the Emperor and a low-ranking concubine, he is removed from the line of succession for political reasons. The manga focuses on his obsessive love for Fujitsubo (his father's wife, who resembles Genji's deceased mother) and his tragic affairs with women like Yugao, the cold Lady Aoi, and the intensely jealous Lady Rokujo.
The Enigma: Where Fiction Meets Reality The "Thousand-Year Enigma" refers to the supernatural connection between the creator and her creation: The Power of Prose: Murasaki's writing is so emotionally charged that it manifests real-world consequences. The legendary exorcist Abe no Seimei appears to investigate the dark energy emanating from her stories. Spirit Possession: The boundaries dissolve when the "living ghost" of Lady Rokujo (a character in the book) begins to haunt the real Heian court, fueled by Murasaki’s own hidden resentment and jealousy.
The Confrontation The story explores the theory that Genji was a reflection of Michinaga, eventually leading to a surreal climax where the author and her fictional character face one another. [/spoiler]
